Rise In Price of Foods Items Is So Alarming - Nigeria's Cried Out - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!
Publisher (J.T)
July 13, 2020
With the unprecedented rise in the cost of staple foods and consumables completely priced out of the reach of majority of Nigerians, obtaining a three square meal these days, is now a luxury many cannot afford. In this report, Charles Okonji examines the causes and effects
One of the sore points of the ravaging coronavirus scourge is the fact that it has adversely affected the cost of staple foods and other consumables in terms of prices.
Before the lockdown in mid-January to February, the prices of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) and produce, especially, were relatively cheap and affordable.
However, since the spread of the pandemic which led to partial lockdown by the government, prices of foods generally has literally gone high leaving the consumers already suffering from the bitter pill of a parlous state of the economy, in total quandary and helplessness of sort.
During the Q3 of 2019, Nigeria’s economy experienced acute shortage of food, leading some analysts into forecasting that the country would run into serious food crisis in the Q1 of 2020, which became a reality with the lockdown effect that emanated from Covi-19 pandemic.
Data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reveal that Nigeria’s inflation rate increased by 12.34% (year-on-year) in April 2020. This is 0.08% higher than the rate of 12.26% recorded in March 2020 and the highest rise since April 2018.
According to the latest CPI report released by the NBS, inflation rate increased by 12.34% (year-on-year) in April 2020 from 12.26% recorded in March 2020.
On a month-on-month basis, the index increased by 1.02% in April 2020, a 0.18% rate higher than 0.84% recorded in the previous month.
The report further disclosed that food index rose from 14.85 percent recorded in January to 14.9 percent in February 2020 while core inflation increased by 0.08 percent to stand at 9.43 percent compared to 9.35 percent recorded in the preceding month.
Upward movement in price was recorded in all subsets of the consumer price indexes, and urban and rural inflation rate increased year-on-year by 12.85 percent and 11.61 percent in February from 12.78 percent and 11.54 percent recorded in January respectively.
The composite food index increased by 15.03% in April 2020 0.03 points higher, compared to 14.98% recorded in March 2020
On a month-on-month basis, the closely watched component of the inflation index increased by 1.18% in April 2020, up by 0.24% points compared to 0.94% recorded in March 2020. According to the report, the rise in the food index was caused by increases in prices of potatoes, yam and other tubers, fish, oils and fats, meat, fruits, bread and cereals, and vegetables.
It is worthy of note that core inflation, which excludes the prices of volatile agricultural produce climbed by 9.43 percent in February 2020, depicting a figure of 0.08 percent higher when compared to 9.35 percent recorded in the previous month.
The foremost increase were recorded in prices of pharmaceutical products, catering services, air transport, furniture repairs, repairs and maintenance of personal transport equipment, water supply and water consumption, major household equipment and appliances, dental care and services, carpet tiles and other floor coverings, vehicle spare parts and vehicle maintenance, durable and non-durable household goods.
Core inflation (All items less farm produce) which excludes the prices of volatile agricultural produce stood at 9.98% in April 2020, a 0.25% increase when compared to 9.73% recorded in March 2020.
On a month-on-month basis, the core sub-index increased by 0.93% in April 2020, up by 0.13% when compared with 0.8% recorded in the previous month.
The highest increases according to the report, were recorded in prices of bicycle, passenger transport by road, passenger transport by sea and inland waterways, paramedical services, hospital services, pharmaceutical products, medical services, motorcycles, and major household appliances whether electronic or not.
Bauchi state recorded the highest year-on-year inflation rate of 14.44% followed by Rivers state with 14.16% and Sokoto state, which recorded a 13.99% inflation rate. Meanwhile the states with the lowest rise in inflation rate were Kwara (8.98%), Abuja (10.8%), and Edo state with 10.87%.
Sokoto state also recorded the highest year-on-year food inflation rate, followed by Abuja with 17.65% and Akwa Ibom, which recorded 17.55%. On the other hand, Enugu state recorded the slowest rise in food inflation, having recorded a 12.89% increase, followed by Edo state with 12.9% and Ebonyi state with 13.04%.
The latest inflation report implies a fast rise in the prices of overall goods and services in the economy, caused by the lockdown procedure in response to Covid-19 pandemic and the continual global oil crisis. It should be noted that the latest increase in the inflation rate means that the purchasing power of consumers to buy goods and services deteriorated.

Both Cole and the APC had approached the Apex Courtthrough their notices of appeal, praying it to make them participate in the2019 general election. The Court however dismissed the separate appeals on theground that the notices were incompetent in law.

Khashoggi Killing: Fired Saudi Royal Adviser 'Not On Trial' - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!

March 25, 2019
A Saudi royal adviser fired over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi is not among the 11 suspects on trial at secretive hearings in Riyadh despite Saudi pledges to bring those responsible to justice, sources familiar with the matter have told Reuters news agency.
The Saudi public prosecutor indicted 11 unnamed suspects in November, including five who could face the death penalty on charges of “ordering and committing the crime”.
Saud al-Qahtani, a top aide to MBS until he was sacked then sanctioned by the US Treasury over his suspected role, is not on trial and has not appeared at any of the four court sessions convened since January, according to seven sources who are familiar with the proceedings but have not attended the trial.
Two regional intelligence sources told Reuters that weeks after the killing Qahtani oversaw Khashoggi’s murder and dismemberment by giving orders via Skype to a team of security and intelligence operatives.
The Saudi public prosecutor said in November that Qahtani had coordinated with the deputy intelligence chief Ahmed al-Asiri, who ordered the repatriation of Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist who had become a vocal critic of the crown prince’s policies following years as a royal insider.
The prosecutor said Qahtani had met the operatives charged with Khashoggi’s repatriation before their journey to Istanbul. When Khashoggi resisted, the lead negotiator decided to kill him, according to the prosecutor.
Asiri is on trial, the seven sources told Reuters.
Three of the sources said that Maher Mutreb, the lead negotiator, and Salah Mohammed al-Tubaigy, a forensic expert who specialised in autopsies, are also on trial and could face the death penalty.
The sources said the defendants have legal counsel and have defended themselves in court by claiming they did not intend to kill Khashoggi or were merely carrying out orders.
The public prosecutor, the government media office, Qahtani and Asiri did not respond to requests for comment on the status of the trial. Reuters could not reach Mutreb, Tobaigy or any of the defendants’ lawyers.

Some Stakeholders in the health sector have advocated that a percentage of the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund, BHPF be channeled in provision of safe blood services across states by the National Blood Transfusion Service, NBTS.
The Country Director, Safe Blood for Africa Foundation, SBFA Idris Saliu, and the Armed Forces Blood Services, Major Iriah Samuel made the call in a communiqué after a meeting organised by NBTS in Abuja.
The communiqué added that there is need for a dedicated percentage of the BHPF by the National Health Act 2014 to be earmarked for the provision of safe blood services by NBTS.
The National Health Act of 2014, Section VI, Sub-section 47-57 is the legal instrument that empowers NBTS to regulate and coordinate blood services in Nigeria. The health sector stakeholders, therefore, called for the establishment of Hospital Transfusion Committees, HTCs to ensure appropriate clinical use of blood and blood products to minimise adverse reactions and events following blood transfusion.
